Birmingham 8th-grader selected as state winner for national Google art contest
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBMA) — A Birmingham middle school student was selected as one of 55 state and territory winners of the 15th Annual "Doodle for Google" contest.
Google announced Thursday that W. J. Christian School eighth-grader Brooklyn Chandler is Alabama's winner.
This year's contest prompt was: “I am grateful for...”
Chandler titled her entry “Conspicuous Hair,” and wrote: “I am grateful for my hair. I drew my hair because I believe my hair is a blessing, even though I've been ridiculed for it, and it's been treated like a toy, I love my hair. The reason for my title is because, around my family, I'm always pointed out first because of my easily noticeable hair.”

As the state's winner, Chandler will move on to a nationwide "Doodle for Google" voting competition. This will determine which of the 55 state/territory finalists will go on to become one of Google’s five national finalists.
The overall national winner will be selected from those finalists.
